    furthermore.

    iMacs aren't meant to be user serviceable, so Apple's looking to economize the design by reducing the number of parts—removing the separate external sensor/cable monitoring the HDD's temp in favor of an integrated sensor. (Mildly analogous: Soldering flash storage chips directly onto the logic board of the MacBook Airs. Less complexity, but the trade-off is it's not user replaceable. SOP for Apple, really.)
